Bluesky as @beestonia. Have left here, be good if you did too. I mean, WTF are you still here for? It's a fascist-run bot-filled hellsite.

Dunno whose grave this is in Southwell Minster graveyard, but he seemed suprised to be dead.
Taking a prolonged break from here while I look after the kids over Summer. Hopefully return to a nicer, less Musky place.
If you want owt, I'm available elsewhere and you know more or less where I live. Tarah!
Like Brazil being named after Brazil nuts, Beeston is indeed named after the phantom beasts that roam from the rugged banks of the Trent to the wild hills of Bramcote. 'Bes-Tyn', Old English for 'Beast Town'. Incredible how few residents know about that.

Beeston Beast: the legendary black panther that roams the local countryside has been spotted again near Bardills Island. Formidable beast
Is it ok to change the football team you support on the basis of the shiteness of their ticket booking? I've yet to have a smooth @NFFC experience. What's County like?
Just had a 25 minute conversation with an absolute stranger based around our predictions of seeing a spoonbill in Attenborough Nature Reserve.
Love Summer where everyone goes a bit weird
I'm not a busker but I feel incredibly seen here cos when the temp goes over 25c I do stuff like take my son for a test, make some ear/hearing jokes to the clinician,then remember he's actually an optician and my son is there for an eye test and everyone's looking at me pitifully

Back from @DeerShed . Utterly wonderful experience, the first festival for my son, and perfect for him, with even the North Yorks weather defying convention with just the one brief shower.
Heavens, @OFalafel is excellent live and my son is a convert. He also made a very good joke directly to my friend John and his lad and a brilliantly rude joke I'll be passing off as my own throughout the Summer
They've got baby massage at this festival but I can't see how that works. You'd need about five of them to make any discernable effect on my knotted shoulders and they'd keep crawling away. Won't bother.
At my first festival since 2006. Was in bed by 11, up at 5am. Now eating granola and sipping americano while contemplating a sauna.
2006 me is looking disgusted at 2024 me and saying "You've, changed man".
Byron fans! Poetry fans! Really fascinating big abbey* fans!
This is tomorrow in Newstead and you should go as I helped arrange it (though can't attend). That other Lord B would approve.
*technically a priory, not an abbey.
If you agree with me that Shane Meadows Dead Man's Shoes is the best British horror ever, then you'll be delighted to know the grim castle featured in the film is now portioned up and available to buy...nypost.com/2024/07/25/real-e…

WHY PETER PAN WAS FROM NOTTS: A THEORY 🧵
I'm far from the first to note that Peter Pan was inspired partly by Nottingham but I want to take it a little further: Peter Pan was based on an actual person from Nottingham.
I mean, Disney has had it in plain sight for years
By sheer coincidence this morning I went for breakfast at a cafe right next to the JM Barrie plaque, and received a phone call from @BBCNottingham asking if I'd like to do a piece on it, so I did, and I'll let you know when it's broadcast...
